1. Introduction
Welcome to The Good Principal.
The Good Principal is an online publishing platform operated under the business name Hibaro Book Publishing, based in the Philippines.
We publish digital books, reflective journals, practical guides, and educational resources created primarily for school principals, aspiring educational leaders, and educators.
This Digital Product Policy explains how our downloadable products are purchased, delivered, accessed, and used. It also outlines customer responsibilities, intellectual property protections, and the assistance available when technical problems occur.
By purchasing, downloading, or using our digital products, you agree to the applicable conditions described in this policy and our Terms & Conditions.
Nothing in this policy excludes or limits rights available to customers under applicable consumer protection laws.
2. Nature of Our Digital Products
The Good Principal specializes in electronically delivered publications and resources.
Our products may include:
- Ebooks in PDF and EPUB formats
- Digital journals and reflective workbooks
- Educational leadership guides
- Downloadable worksheets and templates
- Digital product bundles
- Complimentary digital publications and resources
Unless expressly stated otherwise on a product page, all products are supplied exclusively in digital form.
No physical books, printed journals, or other physical items will be shipped.
Customers should review the product description and available file formats before completing a purchase.
3. Product Formats
Our digital publications are generally offered in the following formats.
3.1 PDF Files
Portable Document Format (PDF) files are designed to preserve the layout, typography, and visual presentation of a publication.
PDF files can generally be opened using compatible PDF readers on computers, tablets, and smartphones.
Some PDF products, particularly journals and workbooks, may be designed for reading, printing, or writing responses using compatible annotation applications.
Unless expressly described as fillable, a PDF is not guaranteed to contain interactive form fields.
3.2 EPUB Files
Electronic Publication (EPUB) files are designed for compatible ebook-reading applications and devices.
EPUB files may allow readers to adjust text size, spacing, and other reading preferences depending on the application.
The appearance of an EPUB file may differ slightly across devices and reading applications.
3.3 Format Availability
Not all products include both PDF and EPUB files.
Some resources, particularly guided journals, worksheets, or visually structured publications, may be offered in PDF format only.
The specific files included in a purchase are identified on the relevant product page.
Customers receive only the formats expressly included in their purchase.
4. Purchasing Digital Products
Digital products may be purchased through our website using the payment methods displayed at checkout.
Payment processing is handled by supported third-party payment providers.
After successful payment, our system will ordinarily generate an order confirmation and provide access to the purchased digital files.
Customers are responsible for reviewing the product title, description, price, currency, and file formats before confirming an order.
If an incorrect product is delivered because of an error attributable to our website, we will investigate and provide an appropriate remedy.
5. Digital Delivery
Purchased digital products are generally delivered electronically through WooCommerce.
Depending on the checkout configuration, customers may receive access through:
- A download link on the order confirmation page
- A download link sent to the email address provided during checkout
- Another download-access method expressly indicated during purchase
Delivery normally occurs automatically after payment has been successfully confirmed and the order is authorized for fulfillment.
Occasional delays may occur because of payment verification, email delivery problems, hosting interruptions, or technical errors.
If you do not receive access to a purchased product, please contact us at:
We will make reasonable efforts to verify the transaction and provide the purchased material.
6. Download Access
Customers should download and save their purchased files promptly after receiving access.
Download links may be subject to reasonable security measures, expiration periods, or download limits, where these are disclosed to customers.
Any applicable restrictions should be consistent with the product description and relevant consumer protection laws.
We recommend storing a personal backup of purchased files in a secure location.
If you lose a purchased file or experience difficulty accessing an existing order, you may contact us for assistance.
We may request an order number or other reasonable proof of purchase before reissuing access.
We do not guarantee indefinite access to the original download link unless lifetime access is expressly promised on the product page.
However, any limitation on access will not override rights or commitments applicable to the original purchase.
7. License for Personal and Professional Use
Unless otherwise specified, purchasing a digital product grants the customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the purchased material for personal reading, individual reflection, and professional reference.
This license allows customers to:
- Download and save the purchased files on devices they personally use
- Read the materials for personal or professional development
- Make personal annotations and notes
- Print reasonable portions for individual use where the format permits
- Refer to concepts and ideas from the publication in their own professional practice
Purchasing a digital product does not transfer ownership of the copyright or other intellectual property rights.
The license applies to the individual purchaser unless an institutional or multi-user license is expressly provided.
8. Prohibited Distribution and Reproduction
To protect the work invested in creating our publications, customers may not, without prior written authorization:
- Resell purchased digital products
- Upload complete files to public websites or file-sharing services
- Distribute purchased files through email groups, messaging applications, or shared drives for unauthorized use
- Share purchased files with colleagues, friends, or other individuals as substitutes for separate purchases
- Reproduce substantial portions for unauthorized commercial distribution
- Remove or alter copyright notices
- Claim authorship or ownership of our original publications
- Convert purchased files into products offered for resale
- Include substantial copyrighted content in commercial courses, resource packages, or competing publications without permission
These restrictions do not prohibit uses authorized by applicable copyright law, including applicable exceptions and limitations.
9. Use in Schools and Educational Institutions
We recognize that school principals, teachers, administrators, and educational organizations may find our resources useful in professional development activities.
An individual purchase generally authorizes use by the individual purchaser only.
It does not automatically authorize distribution of complete digital files to an entire school, district, department, training group, or organization.
Customers may discuss ideas, summarize lessons, and apply general principles learned from our publications in their professional practice.
However, reproducing or distributing substantial copyrighted content may require separate permission.
Schools, educational institutions, and organizations interested in multiple-user access or institutional licensing may contact:
Any institutional license or special permission must be confirmed in writing.
10. Printing and Personal Copies
Customers may print reasonable portions of purchased digital products for their own individual use, provided printing is technically supported by the file.
For journals and workbooks intended for personal completion, customers may print copies of relevant activity or reflection pages for their own use.
Printing copies for unauthorized distribution to multiple individuals is not permitted unless expressly authorized or otherwise allowed by law.
We may specify additional printing permissions or limitations on individual product pages.
11. Intellectual Property Ownership
Unless otherwise stated, the original text, editorial content, publication design, illustrations, graphics, and other creative elements included in our digital products are owned by or licensed to the operator of The Good Principal.
These materials are protected by applicable copyright and intellectual property laws.
All rights not expressly granted to the purchaser are reserved.
The names The Good Principal and Hibaro Book Publishing, together with their associated branding, may not be used in a manner that falsely implies sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation.
Where third-party materials appear in our publications, the rights of the respective owners remain applicable.
12. Product Updates and Revised Editions
We may occasionally update our digital publications to correct typographical errors, improve formatting, clarify explanations, or revise content.
Minor corrections may be made without issuing a new edition.
More substantial revisions may be released as updated editions or separate publications.
Unless expressly promised on a product page, purchasing a digital product does not automatically entitle the customer to all future editions, expansions, or separately released products.
Where an update is necessary to correct a material defect in a purchased product, we will provide an appropriate remedy consistent with applicable law.
We may voluntarily provide updated files to previous purchasers when reasonably possible.
13. Compatibility and Technical Requirements
Customers are responsible for using compatible software and devices to access purchased files.
PDF files generally require a compatible PDF reader.
EPUB files require an EPUB-compatible reading application.
The Good Principal does not guarantee that every file will function identically across all devices, applications, or operating systems.
However, files should be reasonably usable in the formats and under the compatibility conditions described at the time of purchase.
If a file is corrupted, materially defective, or cannot be accessed as advertised, customers should contact us for assistance.
Where a technical problem cannot be resolved, an appropriate remedy may be available under our Refund Policy and applicable law.
14. Free Digital Resources
We may offer complimentary guides, downloadable worksheets, journals, or other digital materials.
Free resources remain subject to applicable copyright and licensing restrictions unless a different license is expressly stated.
Receiving a free resource does not automatically authorize resale, commercial reproduction, or unrestricted distribution.
Where a free resource is offered in connection with a newsletter subscription, the applicable privacy notice and subscription terms will govern the collection and use of personal information.
Accessing a free resource does not automatically require consent to receive unrelated promotional communications unless such consent is separately and lawfully obtained.
15. Refunds and Digital Purchases
Because digital products can generally be accessed and retained immediately after delivery, purchases are ordinarily final once correctly supplied.
However, customers may be entitled to refunds or other remedies where products are defective, not delivered, materially misrepresented, or otherwise subject to mandatory consumer protection rights.
Our separate Refund Policy explains the circumstances in which refunds, replacements, and other remedies may be available.
Refund Policy: https://thegoodprincipal.com/refund-policy/
Nothing in this Digital Product Policy limits rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
16. Unauthorized Sharing and License Violations
If we become aware of suspected unauthorized distribution or infringement involving our digital products, we may investigate and take proportionate action permitted by law.
Such action may include contacting the relevant individual, requesting removal of infringing materials, or pursuing available legal remedies.
We may restrict access where reasonably necessary to address fraud or unlawful activity, subject to applicable consumer rights.
We will not arbitrarily revoke legitimately purchased access in violation of contractual or statutory obligations.
17. Educational and Professional Disclaimer
Our digital products are intended for educational, informational, and reflective purposes.
They may address school leadership, administrative decision-making, professional relationships, workplace challenges, emotional well-being, and personal reflection.
They do not constitute individualized legal, psychological, medical, financial, or other regulated professional advice.
Educational systems, employment requirements, and institutional policies differ across jurisdictions.
Readers should exercise professional judgment and seek qualified advice when circumstances require specialized guidance.
We do not guarantee specific professional, financial, or personal outcomes from the use of our publications.
18. Privacy and Customer Information
Information collected during purchases, digital delivery, customer support, and related website activities is handled according to our Privacy Policy.
We may retain order details, transaction records, and download-related information as reasonably necessary for product delivery, customer support, security, and legal compliance.
Privacy Policy: https://thegoodprincipal.com/privacy-policy/
19. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Digital Product Policy to reflect changes in our publications, file formats, delivery systems, licensing arrangements, or applicable legal requirements.
Revisions will be published on this page with an updated revision date.
Changes will not retroactively remove rights arising from completed purchases where doing so would be unlawful.
